Every time I rebooted, I’d have to unpack a zip file and reinstall the audio drivers,

The OS would autoremove them?!

It's probably Windows update "fixing" you drivers by updating them to the Windows version because it is newer. I had to turn off Windows driver updates, because it kept updating my already fully working 5.1 Dolby digital driver to a newer one that only has dual channel audio, and it also broke the optional optical out my sound card supports (and has installed).

Yeah, it was super fun. I tried reformatting, I bought a new drive and put new Windows on it and the same thing happened.
